They supposedly can be disabled in settings- but we all know that won’t last. They’re going full Microsoft Skype mode and it’s only a matter of time.

    Enshittification isn’t illegal though. And making it illegal sounds pretty draconian and anti liberal to me.

    I, for one, will never pay for discord, and if the communities I do use it for decide to move elsewhere, I’ll happily move over.

      Yeah that’s true, and I agree trying to regulate enshittification out of existence will probably have some heavy handed implications. However I do think it’s worth rethinking how network effects as extreme as Discord implements them relate to monopoly.
